lisbeth's motorcycle
does anybody know what type of motorbike lisbeth rides in the movie? Thought it might be a t500 sukuki
No, it's not a Suzuki, I had a vague memory that it was a Honda, and I googled and found this. It's a Honda CL350, and the story behind, how Fincher was persuaded to choose that particular brand. It's vintage bike they apparently rebuilt. Fun trivia :)

In books she rides 125cc Kawasaki.
shareYou're right. I actually had to check the book again to be certain and found; "Lisbeth Salander följde de instruktioner hon fått och styrde sin Kawasaki över bron". Which in English would be something like; "Lisbeth Salander follow the instructions she had received, and steered her Kawasaki across the bridge". This is when she's on her way to Hedestad for the first time.
I used to be good at keeping track of the different motorcycle brands, not so much nowadays. But in the Swedish "Män som hatar kvinnor", I think she rides another bike, a Yamaha WR250X. At least that's what one of my friends told me :)
